Perplexity

Pipe asset metadata into shell scripts

Run `get_asset_details` to output raw asset metadata directly into your terminal session. This tool gives you instant access to sizes, tags, and creator details that you can pipe into jq or custom deployment scripts. By avoiding heavy web interfaces, your terminal agent can quickly inspect assets using this MCP Server. You get fast, text-based feedback that fits perfectly into your existing command-line workflows.

Automate asset cleanups via the command line

Execute `wipe_media_asset` to purge old or deprecated assets from your workspace using simple terminal commands. The tool lets your terminal agent target and delete files based on automated criteria or manual selections. You can script these cleanups to run after successful deployments. This ensures your active Brandfolder remains clutter-free without manual auditing.

Bulk upload assets using this MCP Server

Trigger `create_cms_asset` to inject local build artifacts, images, or documents straight into your asset manager from a terminal prompt. The tool manages the upload stream and returns the live asset reference immediately. This makes it easy to tie your build pipelines directly to your creative library. Your terminal agent handles the upload steps, letting you push assets to production with a single command.
